<PAGE>
10.2      Each of the obligations contained in this clause constitutes an entire
          separate and independent restriction on the Executive, despite the
          fact that they may be contained in the same phrase and if any part is
          found to be unenforceable the remainder will to the extent legally
          permissible remain valid and enforceable.

10.3      While the restrictions are considered by the parties to be fair and
          reasonable in the circumstances, it is agreed that if any such
          restrictions should be judged to be void or ineffective for any reason
          but would be treated as valid and effective if part of the wording
          thereof were deleted or the periods thereof reduced or the area
          thereof reduced in scope, the said restrictions shall apply with such
          modifications as will be necessary to make them valid and effective.

10.4      The Executive agrees that he will at the request and cost of the
          Company enter into a direct agreement with any of the Group Companies

          restrictions contained in this clause (or such as will be appropriate
          in the circumstances) in relation to such Group Company PROVIDED THAT
          any such direct agreement will not impose any greater or more onerous
          restrictions on the Executive than those contained in this agreement.

10.5      The provisions of this clause will not prevent the Executive from
          holding an Investment.
